Thom Browne Fall Winter Collection 2013/14 in New York (with itw)

Thom Browne (who is consuming much of the media attention in the USA after having dressed Michelle Obama in the last inauguration) has a feeling for the mise en scène. He proves this once again through his autumn winter 2013/14 collection. Men lie motionless in hospital beds in the heart of a snowy forest creating a sense of mystery. Creatures fitted into voluminous suits, with oversized shoulders and rounded hips wandering around this landscape, a rose in hand. We admire the couture work on dresses cut on the bias, assembled with several layers of fabric and certain embroidered insets of lace, pearls or sequins. Throughout the collection, the red rose totally invades the garment and the palette of gray gives way to white and blood red.

Music from fashion show

Interview
Thom Browne : It was not very literal, just a beautiful image and the combination of the clothing and the image in the room was strong, it was more timeless, putting beautiful images together.

The materials tailor very well, and a lot of attention to the shoulders and the hips and the clothes, especially when you do things somewhat structured i think you have to add something that feminises it or makes it a little lighter and the lace particularly just worked with the whole feeling of the show.

The womenswear collections for next winter presented in New York, London, Milan and Paris from February 5 to March 6, showcased ten major new trends, creating looks that were hybrids of strength and femininity.

​It felt more like a couture show than a ready-to-wear event at Thom Browne on Sunday night, the latest artistic statement by the American designer inspired by the legendary French painter Vigée Le Brun.

New York Fashion Week boasts the lengthiest official calendar of any major season anywhere, yet when editors and buyers take their seats on Monday morning the overall feeling will be of attending a season in retreat.

Selfridges had unveiled the second phase of its giant accessories hall makeover saying it takes it “one step closer to opening the largest luxury accessories hall in the world”. It has also added a quirky Corner Shop.

After Versailles last year, the NY Times is staging its international luxury conference 2017 in Brussels, a two-day event that will explore the evolution of the luxury market in a constantly changing world.

Italian luxury outerwear company Moncler said on Monday it would end its Gamme Rouge and Gamme Bleu lines and their designers Giambattista Valli and Thom Browne would leave the company to focus on their own brands.

Carine Roitfeld tapped the pop singer to create a video to celebrate the end of Paris Fashion Week, and all major fashion weeks across the world. The music video features clothes from the Spring/summer 2018 collections.

Paris Fashion Week pulled out all the stops for its final day of Spring/Summer 2018 shows on Tuesday, with a series of visionary beauty looks that shone a whole new light on next season's makeup trends.
